The Golden Age of……..

How many times have you heard someone claim that a certain thing or subject was indeed, the Golden Age of…..etc etc? I heard it said the other day. Someone was referring to the golden age of music when the recording of music in studios was on magnetic tape. He went

The orphan part and other stuff…..

I’m definitely a ‘Glass half full’ type of person. I look for the positive energy, the inspirational people, the amazing situations and the good things all of the time. These things make me feel good, give me creative ideas and help take me to new phases, projects or crazes in

Epic! The Helvetic Phoebus Mutaped

It’s weird how things happen in a sequence and seemingly unconnected, until one thing joins them all up. In this case, the ‘one thing’ is a catalogue from a Swiss company long since gone. My friend Stefan, who you made have read about before (see links at bottom of page),

The road to somewhere new……??

Ever heard the music track ‘Road to Nowhere’ by the band, Talking Heads? If not, you should. If you have, listen to it again. It’s a tenuous music link to the subject of this post, which involves 2 ebikes and 3 friends. However, I have an announcement to make first.

Ducati

In addition to usual cycling brands, a lot of car companies have dipped their toes into the bicycle world. I assume this is to connect the car brand with a lifestyle of health, leisure, fitness and sport. Some also get their engineers to apply car developed technology to cycles. It

Hindsight??

When I was a kid, teeth cleaning technique meant putting toothpaste on your brush and then vigorously brushing in an ‘up and down’ direction. Doing this correctly meant ‘no fillings and other work’ to be done at the dentist, which was never somewhere I ever wanted to visit in case

S’Bike Prototype – More research required……

Last November, I nailed a post to this site under the title ‘Rapid Prototype’. I had obtained an unknown frame from a friend who featured in ‘Interesting Interview No.1 – Terrance Malone’, and this special frame had no markings, serial number, or provenance. It gave some clues to it’s heritage

The Interesting Interview Series – No.7: Mick Ely

This series of interviews continues at pace, and not by design either. I just keep coming across interesting people, fortunately. This interview certainly continues the ‘Interesting’ thread. After previous interview mentions of the Rough-Stuff Fellowship (RSF), which is the oldest off-road cycling club in the world, I thought I would

More great MTB product testing?

Sometimes, there are contradictions and tensions in the message when talking about ‘new innovation’ and ‘heritage’ in the same sentence, unless you are a marketeer and you use heritage as ‘the hook’ for selling a new innovation. I’m using the two separately in this post, but both will be complimentary

The Interesting Interview Series – No.6: Stumpy

To date, the Interesting Interview Series has focussed on people and their lives. This interview is with a bike. All used bikes have good stories to tell, but they are never given the chance to get their adventures into print, so this could be a world first (maybe). The Specialized
